Micropolis: Improve decode.

* Discard a partial sector at the end of the track.
    * Do not seek to the index mark for the first sector.
    * Use a 64-bit pattern to match the SYNC.
    * If SYNC is found too early, search for a subsequent SYNC.
    * While decoding the sector record, enforce the SYNC pattern
      and track ID.
